Field Data Collection Protocols
TERN collects data for a number of core remote sensing calibration and validation data sets at several locations across Australia. This link contains the specific field data collection protocols used for each data set.
Field Data Collection Forms
TERN data collection tools for each of the core data sets consists of an electronic (Open Data Kit) form and a supporting paper form. This link contains details of how to access and use the electronic forms, as will as links to download the hard-copy paper forms
Field Data Filenaming Convention
The TERN field data filenaming convention for instrument files has been adopted from the established Queensland DES’s Remote Sensing Centre convention. This convention has numerous benefits facilitating automated processing. Each product's metadata contains some specific information on it's filenaming, however, this link provides greater detail on the development and standards of the convention.
